Dear Elina,
Thank you for your response and for willingness to provide subcontracting services for
us.
You can download the Imipenem/Cilastatin Venus Pharma manufacturer's Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP) for sterility testing from the following link (access is 60
calendar days): Sterility_2026
We would like to send the samples to you next week. Given your current queue, we
would be very grateful if we could receive the results by the beginning of December, if
possible.
Please let us know if this timeframe works for you.
Best regards,
Aune Ahman

Dear Aune,
Thank you for your email.
We are able to carry out sterility testing for Adrenaline Auxilia and Adrenaline Demo and
the 4 ampoules are sufficient for the testing.
Regarding Imipenem/Cilastatin Venus Pharma, I would need manufacturer’s SOP for
sterility testing. The product is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and usually the
manufacturer has specific instructions for sterility testing (such as using tween in
washing fluid, or using B-lactamase or something else to remove the antibiotic affecting
the microbial growth, etc). Would it be possible to receive the SOP for sterility testing?
Otherwise, 1 package containing 5 vials is sufficient amount for the testing.
We have currently quite many samples waiting for sterility testing. Are you in a hurry with
the results?
Kind regards,
Elina

Dear Elina,
I hope this email find you well.
We would like to send the following medicinal products with a marketing authorisation
to you for sterility testing:
• Agency's ID: M-8/2026 IMIPENEM/CILASTATIN VENUS PHARMA 500 mg + 500 mg
powder for solution for infusion N5 – for sterility testing, 1 package containing 5
vials
• Agency's ID: M-10/2026 ADRENALINE AUXILIA 1 mg/ml epinefrine solution for
injection/infusion 1 ml N50 – for sterility testing, 4 ampoules
• Agency's ID: M-11/2026 ADRENALINE DEMO 1 mg/ml epinephrine solution for
injection/infusion 1 ml N20 – for sterility testing, 4 ampoules
Could you please confirm if the sample quantities listed above are sufficient?
Regarding adrenaline's, we are unable to send the full packages; therefore, we would
take the required number of ampoules from the packages for sterility testing and send
those to you.
Would it be suitable for you if we send the samples next week? Also, could you please let
us know if you require the manufacturer's specifications
